At Windzone™, we don't think bigger is necessarily better. Sometimes small and compact
is just what the doctor ordered. That's why we created the Day Tripper™. The only
motorcycle tool kit in the world small enough to wear on your belt, yet big enough to
repair 90% of all roadside mechanical emergencies. You can trust in our popular
Essential™ tool kits on those weekend and cross-country excursions, but when you're
just out for the day, the Day Tripper™ has got you covered.
So, get a ticket to ride... Get the Day Tripper™!

Roadkill. It was raced at the Salt Flats
in the 1650cc Modified/Pushrod Gas
(M/PG) and Altered/Pushrod Gas
(A/PG) classes. They successfully set
records at 167.6 and 167.4, respec-
tively. Tom Metty also built and raced
a Sportster for the 1650cc MPS/PG
class and set that record at 167.3 mph.
The ’94 Sportster that took the
A/PF 2000 Maxton record in May of
this year, Roadkill, started life as a
103,000-mile, sidecar-sporting, trail-
er-hauling, commuter 883. According
to Crim, “Roadkill is truly the bike
that the Internet built. It has a Suzuki
GSXR front end while keeping the
H-D Sportster rear wheel, 10.5-inch
stretched swingarm, relocated fuel
tank, rear-set controls, clip-on handle-
bars. Everything on this bike has
been modified and acquired from
the Internet—the Sportster List Swap
Page, eBay, and Sportster List mem-
bers.” The 1650cc ’94 Sportster also
has Redshift cams, Zippers heads,
S&S cases, S&S Super “D” carbure-
tor, and Bassani custom exhaust.
Roadkill is powered by a 100 ci
mill that was built, under the “super-
vision” of Art Northrup, Jr., of
Terrell, North Carolina, by Zippers
Performance at a substantially
reduced price as their donation to the
team effort, and assembled by
Carolina Harley-Davidson (along
with their donation of the Crane igni-
tion) in Gastonia, North Carolina, uti-
lizing various engine parts donated by
Sportster List members. Art took the
completed engine to Crim in Ohio,
which was the first time these Sportster
List Team members met in person.
Crim and his wife Jody managed to fit
the engine into the frame, and the final
work was completed just prior
to Roadkill’s first run at Bonneville.
Sportster List members raised
money by conducting merchandise
sales, such as hats, T-shirts, and the
ever-popular customized ignition cover,
as well as soliciting donations from
Sportster List members. Motorcycle
dealers and parts and service suppliers
have also gotten into the act by spon-
soring the Sportster List Race Team’s
efforts. Some of the sponsors include:
Bassani Exhaust, Black Hills Custom
Parts, Bore Tech, Gover Harley-
Davidson, Miller’s Parts from Hell,
Red Line Synthetic Oil, Carolina
Harley-Davidson, Zippers Cycle,
and Setrab’s Jagg Oil Coolers.
Ken Puzio (a.k.a. “The Doctor”),
owner of Black Hills Custom Parts
and dyno tuner extraordinaire, was
also in attendance at the Memorial
Day meet and presented a check to
the team in support of their efforts.
Nearly every bike owner on the Team
picked Ken’s brain about their per-
formance and tuning issues while
hanging out in the pits.
Another Internet-based race team
formed by a spin-off of the original
Yahoo! Sportsters Club—the Yahoo!
Southern Sportster Riders (YSSR)—
took the Modified Partial Streamlining
Pushrod Supercharged (MPS/PBG)
record with a top speed of 132.723.
Destiny, #7625, is a nearly stock 883
with only minimal modifications such
as N4 cams, cut-off drag pipes, and a
double-wide K&N filter. The team,
SNART (Skinny No-Ass Racing
Team), also got a lot of support from
Todd and Murf from Twin Jugs Cycle
in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Can a slightly modified 883
with no head work or other radical
changes do over 130 mph? Yes, it
can! The Yahoo! Southern Sportster
Riders team, SNART, got its name
from Destiny’s owner, Larry Young
from Asheville, North Carolina, oth-
erwise known as SNAL (Skinny
No-Ass Larry). Larry, along with
Lee Tindall from Florence, South
Carolina, are the riders for Destiny,
with Lee piloting her through the
May weekend’s record-breaking
run. These guys are never without
a smile. They know what it means
to work hard, race hard, and have fun
doing it.
